Not that anyone's asking, but I'm taking some time away from streaming to recalibrate the brain into a healthy productive place.
Once I get my controller back from repair I can get back to Astro speedrun practice and hopefully feel up to streaming some of that. But for now, no streams are planned.

I love getting into a groove on my speedrun practice just to have my Dualsense controller completely die. Not dead battery dead. Dead dead. I don't have a spare... So I guess I won't be practicing anymore tonight.

Update on the Elections.ca outage. CBC is reporting that some users are able to access the information on elections website. Some are not. So you can check elections Canada, or your voting card for your polling station if that doesn't work, head over to the CBC election tracking as an alternative. 🇨🇦

Been getting back into drawing with the goal of reigniting my creativity. Today I tried to use a Funko Mini Puft figure as a drawing reference for some practice. It's not bad. I'm not mad at it. I am dying of laughter though, because something about mine is just so goofy

19 days until election day. Canadians, make sure you know where your polling station is, make sure you come prepared and make sure you vote like our country depends on it. Democracy only works properly when we all do our part.

It seems like a good time to repeat how thankful I am that the entire Canadian federal election process has a campaign period that’s at least 36 days and no more than 50 days.
That’s it.
With strict spending limits.
And every single time, that ends up seeming long and expensive to me.

I don't want to get political, but also Canada is facing some real threats from outside our borders, and an upcoming election. Canadians, educate yourself and vote accordingly... our sovereignty is on the line. Every leader is going to tell you they are working for you, their actions speak louder.

Day three of my keys living in their new home at the bottom of the elevator shaft of my apartment building. I hope they're doing well, I miss them.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

Things are scary and overwhelming for so many people right now, so let's take a pause for positivity. What is your win today? Big or small, what is the one thing that went well for you, brought you joy, surprising success or other life victory? Let's celebrate the good stuff for a moment or two.

If you have the AUDACITY to play video games on "easy" or "story" mode...
I want you to know that I think that's a perfectly acceptable way to enjoy a video game that you paid for because you're supposed to enjoy your favorite pastime any way you like.
Real life's hard enough. Enjoy your hobby.👍
